FREELANCE WHALES

florence

on course to win the big ol' music prize, just incase you've overplayed the album, here's a big ol' remix for ya, and we all know what happened the last time someone put 'rave' in the title of an indie remix;

Rabbit heart (pest rave remix) - seriously.

best musical artist at latitide

Who was the best band I saw at latitude?
not that i got to see much music given I was telling people which bin to put their rubbish in for most of it but;
it's a tie

Thom Yorke - although i only caught the end of his set, i heard most of it from across the lake and he played everything in it's right place .'nuff said.

65daysofstatic, it was something like the 9th time I've seen them, they are yet to disappoint, played a lot of stuff off their soon to be released album, which sounds spectacular.

Kuran and the wolfnotes who are unsigned but I totally hit up on my radio show in march, don't let the rough demo's put you off, better by the minute and four limbs were both time stoppers, they were pretty confident on stage but showed at times the potential to own it, i think by the time the album hits our hands they will be an unstoppable force, or they will collapse under the weight of the hype that has been growing around them from pretty much the start of the year. wooo!

promises i made to myself about my future whilst at a festival

I'm going to start a band,
I'm going to be a band,
I'm going to be a poet,
beat poet,
I'm going to become a DJ
I'm going to buy more albums
I'm going to work at more festivals,



Latitude festival

I worked at latitude this weekend, there is no way in hell I am going to review it here.
But I did spend a lot of my time in the poetry and literary tent, I got to see polar bear (not the jazz band which seemed to be a bit of a dissapointment people in the audience) and disocvered Molly Naylor, you can read some of her poems for free over there
